OllieSuave-007 This is another feel-good Christmas movie that is made for TV, where nine year old Felice (Jenna Boyd) writes a letter to Santa Claus asking for a mommy. Her father is widower Joel Wallace (John Schneider) who is a workaholic and lets reporter Mary Maloney (Cynthia Gibb) get the scoop of Felice's story inside their home. She soon learns that miracles can happen.Schneider and Gibb make a great duo and had great on-screen chemistry. Much of the acting was spot-on and the story was mostly entertaining, if a bit too slow at times. But, there is a nice plot twist to the story. It's another nice movie for Christmas time, providing you with some good, clean entertainment and with some heartfelt moments that will make you feel good. Grade B

dtmjoe This is the best Christmas movie I've seen for many years; Best since "The Christmas List".I thought all four of the principal actors demonstrated great personalities consistent with their characters and the storyline. Situational dialog between all character was great; and included many enjoyable scenes of Christmas spirit, sentiment, and humor.I'd strongly recommend viewing of "Mary Christmas" to become an annual holiday season tradition for everyone; especially busy and lonely people, plus families large, small, or fragmented. It will remind them of hopes (past and present), and brighten their spirits (present and future).Toastmaster Joe

Dick Mann Excellent acting by John Schneider (Dukes of Hazard County & Smallville), Cynthia Gibb, and nine year old Jenna Boyd, who played Schneider's nine year old daughter, Felice Wallace, who wrote a letter to Santa Claus asking for a mommy. The letter ended up on the desk of Gibb's Mary Maloney, a TV reporter who was goaded into filming Felice and her family's Christmas. Tom Bosley did an excellent portrayal of a mysterious temporary governor, i.e., a male nanny, for Felice. Renee Ridgeley of "The Young And The Restless," portrayed the woman in Schneider's life whom Felice felt was intrusive in their relationship. My wife and I were spellbound watching this movie with a heart. This movie crosses age groups and I would recommend it to anyone wanting good clean entertainment. This review was of the November 26, 2005 showing recorded from PAX television and viewed several days later.

T-kock Is this the worst movie ever? Well... Probably.An ugly kid with no acting skills whatsoever wants a new mother from Santa(Hell, the kid is like 11-12 years and still believes in Santa, wtf's up with that? Honestly).All the actors are terrible and this is one of this movies you get angry from watching and that red button on the remote seems extremely inviting.The plot sucks too, I don't know, but Americans seems to like making films about spoiled little brats. The thing is, the movie makers obviously wants you to feel sorry for the main character, but it's really hard. The kid is ugly, annoying and stupid. Not a good combination so to say.I don't know anything good to say about this film. The director and the writers should be forbidden to make any more films for the rest of their pitiful lives.I don't have time to write anything else... All I can say is: Don't watch this trash!
